General Format:
Title Page: The Title page includes the title of the article, the name/s of the author/s and their institutional affiliation/s.
Abstract: The first page of the article should contain an abstract of the article not exceeding 250 words.
Manuscript: The Article should be double-spaced and typewritten on one side of quarto-size (A4) paper. Manuscripts of articles should be submitted in MSWord (Times New Roman, 12 point). The length of the article should not exceed 4500-5000 words. The margin should be 1.5 inches on the left side and 1 inch on the other three sides. Use British spelling in all cases instead of American. The author is advised to send his/her article through email entering the documents in MS Word only.
Headlines: Limit the number of heading within an article to four or five (maximum). Avoid lengthy headings and do not number them. The printed style will demonstrate their order clearly without recourse to explicit numberings, such as 1.1.
Quotations: Use single quotation marks, reserving double quotation marks for quoted words within a quotation. The spelling of words in quotations should not be changed. No quotation marks are required for longer passages (i.e. 35 words or more), these have to be indented and separated from the text.
Italics: Avoid excessive italicization for emphasis but use them book titles and foreign words, unless particular terms occur so frequently that they are better in upright (Roman) type. Proper nouns in a foreign language should always be in Roman. We also prefer to set common terms such as ‘status quo’, ‘et al.’ in roman; ibid, however, will be in italics.
Reduce Bias in Language: Constructions that might imply bias against or stereotypes based on gender, ethnicity, disability or age should be avoided.
Abbreviations: A term to be abbreviated must, on its first appearance, be written completely, followed immediately by its abbreviation in parentheses and thereafter, the abbreviation may be used without further explanation.
Tables& Notes: Type each table on a separate page. Insert a location note at the appropriate place in the text. Minimize the use of the tables. Notes should be listed as notes in an appendix and not typed at the bottom of the manuscript pages on which they appear.
Copyright: The author owns the copyright of the article until it is accepted by the EIJSS for publication. After acceptance, the copyright of the article is owned by the EISSS and should not be reproduced elsewhere without the written permission of the editor. Each article should be accompanied by a declaration by the author. (which will be provided later).
